RE: You killed or you didn't kill?
he meant ABOVE the spine.........i hope
that is the VOID that everyone speaks of....high in the back bone...litttttttle penetration...deer acts like you drilled it...blood looks good because its bright muscle blood..100-150yds later it just ENDS...deer is never found...atleast not dead...
most people do not realize how low a deers spine is above the vitals and how the ribs and backbone make a mass of bone and cartilage and such that stops an arrow hard and fast...but above the spine and vitals...
